A Greater Cincinnati Water Works worker admitted he ignored his on-the-job duties and pleaded guilty Tuesday to five of the 16 criminal charges against him.

Funsho Alatishe, 56, of Forest Park, was a chemist for the utility in 2011 when he was supposed to check the water quality of area water sources to ensure they were clean and healthy. Instead, he blew off that part of the job and falsified documents that purported to show he made the checks.
